Our Cruise!!

Our Cruise was absolutely amazing and so much fun! It was so nice to get away for a week and even turn off our cell phones! When we got on the boat they had lunch ready and we went and got our room all set up. One of the funnest parts of the cruise was the nice dinners! We sat at a table with a couple who was on their honeymoon and a group of four older women who were best friends out on a cruise. One of the lady's was our entertainment... well, she never shut up! and it was great haha we pretty much laughed through every dinner. Catalina Island was absolutely beautiful! I would love to go back there. When we went parasailing, you could see the whole city and it was gorgeous. We also saw dolphins on our parasailing adventure! Garrett is scared of dolphins. So he kept his feet as far away as possible, even though they were still way far down! After parasailing we just walked around and also tried their calamari at a little fish shack right off the pier.. It was hands down the best calamari I have ever tasted! We also got to try some crazy things at our dinners.. I had escargot.. and alligator and eel. All of them were good! I was the only one at my table who tried the escargot and they all watched me try it thinking I would spit it out.. but I definitely did not! I thought it was pretty delicious. Another great part of the cruise was just lounging by the pool.. We would go grab a drink and just fall asleep in a chair under the sun. They had a pizza bar that was open 24/7 so we munched on that a lot! I also loved their salad bar.. A lot to choose from. And of course the ice cream cones! Those were Gar's favorite! We took a nap almost every day which was awesome.. because we never get naps! They are unheard of! Free room service was awesome too, I will admit I ordered cheesecake a few times :) Ensenada was interesting. We walked up main street and there were tons of people selling things. I bought a pair of flip flops from a lady who was selling them for $30, but Garrett talked her down to $11! Crazy huh? We got Garrett a t-shirt and then just decided to go back to the boat. When it was time to get off the boat, we were sad. We didn't want the fun to end! We got to the airport at about 9:30 and our flight didn't leave until 4, so we were there fooorrreeeevvvverrrr. I took a nap on the uncomfortable airport chairs, and Garrett.. well I don't know what he was doing while I slept. HaHa. But it was definitely such an awesome vacation! I am so glad we saved our money and went. Here are some pictures if you haven't already seen! Love you all!!
